Datamining from the latest patch suggests 6 additional DLC fighters (the same amount as in Tekken 7's second season) after Amy and Cassandra. This time they're lightly codenamed.

Best guesses go:

"Stone" = Rock — Self-explanatory

"Yell" = No one knows. — Some suggest Hilde because she's a commander and one of the more popular characters that doesn't fit into any other guesses, but it seems like a bit of a stretch. I'd be surprised if a season 2 didn't come with a guest character, so maybe this or another spot could be referring to a guest. I'd like to see Hilde though.

If the guesses are true, I'd be pretty happy. Rock would be a surprising choice, and with Astaroth gaining so much of his moveset, they'd have to reinvent him quite a bit, but with him, Aeon, and Hwang included, the game will have filled out the whole SC1 roster (minus Edgemaster, but he's a mimic so it's not as big of a void), which only seems right with SCVI covering that game's events.

Setsuka is great and finishes the SCIII newb trio (minus Olcadan, but again, mimic).

Hilde would be nice as she has a very distinctive style both visually and weapons-wise.

I don't really care about Algol, but I know he's got fans, and with Hilde that would finish the SCIV newb duo.

Nearly every main cast member from SCI to SCIV would be in the game (sorry Yun-Seong).

The "supposedly" is only due to a lack of an official English quote (the tidbit is from BN's Japanese third quarter financial report), but a reddit user had this to say:

There's nothing on it in the English report, but Japanese companies often only post their full financial results in Japanese, and just translate a summarised version into English. That's what happens here, since there is a (brief) mention of SCVI in the full Japanese report:

家庭用ゲームにおいては、ワールドワイド向けの新作タイトル「ソウルキャリバー６」の販売が順調なスタートをきった

Translation: "In the residential gaming sector, the worldwide release of the new game Soulcalibur 6 got off to a strong start with sales."

I remember there being talks about whether or not the game flopped, so yeah, there ya go.

I haven't bought it yet, but intend to. I hope you're all still supporting it. I also note that Bamco's other recent fighter, DBFZ, had a short hype life, though part of that may have been intentional on the part of one of the companies behind the game.

Wow, they reenact what happens at the end of SC II. That was a nice surprise.

I'm disappointed that they drop Viola's gimmick for Amy go back having a rapier but that was always going to be the case. At least she's a lot different from Raphael this time around & there's still shades of Viola in her moveset.
